HI Ann

I wonder if- from the dates -he "joined up" at about this time and
needed a marriage certificate to give his wife full rights as a service
wife?


If their original certificate was lost or never issued in a suitable
format, then the simple answer, with Europe in turmoil, would have been
to marry again.


Why would they be in Denmark in the first place? Well you would need to
look at their occupations, and her father's occupation. Could be any one
of a hundred things. Diplomatic, merchant, navy.



Hope that helps
